Are there any other accounts of Jeffrey Dahmer's humor? I wonder what Jeffrey Dahmer's personality was like besides his alcoholic excesses in life when he wasn't drunk.

I know he was shy and introverted as a kid in school and throughout his life, but he was also kind of a class clown who would throw fake epileptic seizures and had a dark (but fun) sense of humor.

And he even managed to meet the vice president with his class or ask a girl to the prom, even though he was deathly afraid she might want to kiss him - so there were moments when he wasn't so shy. I also saw on one of Lionel's home movies that Jeffrey was a very lively kid until he reached school age, and from then on he seemed to be more shy in front of the camera.

Robert Ressler, the FBI agent who interviewed him, said he enjoyed talking to Jeffrey and they laughed from time to time. So he had quite a bit of charisma.

In his interviews from prison, however, he seems rather depressed, quiet, almost emotionless - although, of course, there's not really much to laugh about in terms of what he's talking about in those interviews. But still, his posture and face seem rather emotionless, as if his charisma has almost disappeared in prison.

I just wonder what Dahmer was like in real life at different stages of his life and what his sense of humor was like - when he wasn't drunk, because I've read that he was a very different person when he was drunk. In fact, it seems like he had a happy, lively, humorous side to his personality, even after his first murder.

Does anyone know if he actually tried to befriend other kids at school besides his fake epileptic seizures? Was he aware of his charm as an adult with other people? Or did he just get more and more shy as he got older?
